Summary
Being the best at everything came naturally to Diego: Horse racing, studies, chess, being a bitch. He was the best in year 12 at being the best. That was until he noticed his grades drop, his chess.com ELO plummet and his equestrian skills fall.
All because of a certain someone: someone beautiful and handsome at the same time. Someone he can't get out of his head—to the demise of his roommate.

Summary
So far, all forms of therapy had been unsuccessful. The Orb of Healing Light had tried to coax Bill into opening up about his childhood, his parents and the ‘2nd-Dimension Incident’, but he had refused to speak about anything deeper than his favourite food. Especially in group therapy, where Cipher either remained silent or continuously disrupted the other patients in the session. He was truly the most challenging patient they had the pleasure of dealing with so far.
Yet, a singular name continued to be mentioned within therapy sessions or in passing conversation. Often Bill cursed his name, but he was undeniably attached to this mortal, appearing to reminisce upon past chess games or torture. One thing was for certain, however. The triangle harboured an attachment to Stanford Pines.
This was something that The Orb felt that they could work with.
Or: A rather long Bill Cipher redemption fic that begins with him inside the Theraprism and ends up with him living with the Pines family.

Spencer and Aaron are brothers, but for a change, William Reid is actually a decent person. Aaron has just joined the BAU and his brother is super proud of him! Spencer is still a genius, but also a literal menace because he is actually loved.
The working title for this was: 'Hotch and Spencer are brothers and William isn't evil' so I feel like while the title I went for wasn't great, it absolutely could have been worse! -

Summary
As his eyes wandered out the second-floor window that looked out onto the green, they caught on a group of boys roughhousing and laughing under the largest sycamore tree. They were being loud enough that Shane could nearly make out what they were squawking about, but mostly he picked up on a voice with a different cadence than the rest. He couldn’t quite place the accent, but his eyes searched for the boy it belonged to. He wasn’t hard to spot, one of the tallest in their crew with his sun-kissed sinewy limbs and golden curls that caught the sunlight. Shane watched as the fabric of his t-shirt bunched and strained against his broad shoulders, how he jumped quickly away from his pinned opponent and threw his head back in laughter, and Shane imagined he could see his Adam’s apple bobbing and he wondered what it would feel like under his fingers…
